WHY DO SOME SUCCEED?

by Stephan Bourget

Why do only some succeed, while others fail? Is it because some quit too soon? Is it a lack of faith, commitment, focus, or special skills?

This question has perplexed many throughout time. Perhaps the answer can only be answered inside of a person.

What makes things move in and out of fashion, popular, then not, then popular again?

If quitting were the problem, then we say, "never give up." If faith, then, "believe only." If commitment, "be self-sacrificing." If focus, "define your goals." If special skills, then "practice makes perfect."

How is it that a person arrives at their time to succeed? What is it about one day that was not true of the other? Why can two people look at a forest, while one sees a fearful place, while the other sees trees felled and lumbered into boards, a house built, land cleared, and a thriving and fertile estate, built from the same forest?

Is it only perception? Then, "let us see the good and dare to dream." Is it also courage? Then, "let us march forward, though fear bristle at the back of our necks."

How much of all of this is destiny and how much is our own choice? If we choose to act with failure mannerisms, have we then caused our own failure, or were our mannerisms destined against us?

Is knowing the right choice enough? What force is it that makes us act errantly, when we already know better? Knowledge cannot save us in the day of our sorrow. Learning is a disatisfying companion if we are dreadfully lonely. Clear thinking may avoid us when pressures mount and multiply against us too quickly. And even when the plot is well-mapped, a little procrastination can destroy much good.

Make your upline rich today, for, how can you do it without making yourself rich? Make your downline rich today, for, you also make yourself rich thereby.

Can a group, determined to make each other rich, ever really fail? Is not personal productivity our gift to others and theirs to us?
